Donald Trump has told a lot of whoppers since taking over as the 45th President of the United States last January. More than 5,000 of them to date.

And yet, something he said earlier this week in an interview with Hill.TV has to be considered one of his greatest fibs. Asked whether he truly believes in the idea of a "deep state" working to undermine his presidency, Trump responded: "I don't like to use it because it sounds so conspiratorial and believe it or not I'm really not a conspiratorial person. But I think it's a sad day for our country."

WHAAAAAAAT????

The unquestioned truth about Trump is that he believes in a number of conspiracy theories -- many of which revolve around the idea that he has been victimized or is currently being victimized. More on that in a minute, but before I detail all of the many conspiracy theories Trump has either pushed, created or admitted to believing, consider this: In response to a question about a conspiracy theory concerning a broad-scale attempt to hamstring his presidency from within the government, Trump says he doesn't like the term "deep state" but then acknowledges he believes it exists via this line: "I think it's a sad day for our country."
